This will define Davis for the rest of the time his NFL career is discussed — which is too bad, because he had a very good career. He and his brother Vernon have been upstanding, admirable professionals, and his Instagram explanation was reasoned and full of perspective.

If accurate, the claim would implicate Nunes in the events his committee is investigating: president Trump and associates allegedly attempting to enlist a foreign government to dig up dirt on a domestic political opponent, while Congressionally approved aid was withheld until the request was met....

Their analysis of a quarter-century of state-level gun legislation and mass shooting events found that, in the wake of a single gun-perpetrated massacre and its ensuing media coverage, the number of firearm bills introduced in a statehouse surges by 15 percent. “Mass shootings could potentially lead to policy changes by focusing attention on gun violence, even if they do not provide new information regarding effective policy or change politicians’ preferences,” the paper assesses....

According to The Boston Globe, Wilson is planning to attend Rangers spring training for a second consecutive season. “I love baseball, so any opportunity I would have to hang out with the guys and take some swings, I’ll take,” Wilson said. Last spring, Wilson took batting practice and fielded ground balls for a day while the team sold his jersey. He’s expected to do the same this year. The Rangers drafted Wilson from the Rockies in the Triple-A phase of the Rule 5 draft in 2013....

Trump said that he had support from one specific Portland sheriff during a discussion about policing and race amid Tuesday’s debate. “I have Portland… the sheriff just came out today and said, ‘I support President Trump,’” he said.

“I think our nation was turned on its head for three years based on a completely bogus narrative that was largely fanned and hyped by a completely irresponsible press,” Barr said in an interview with NBC News reporter Pete Williams. “I think there were gross abuses…and inexplicable behavior that is intolerable in the FBI.” Inspector General Michael Horowitz concluded in a 434-page report released Monday—the product of an internal investigation spanning nearly two years—that the FBI did not err when it opened an investigation into potential ties between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia....

The 26-year-old forward is out of contract in June 2023 and is yet to agree an extension with Real Madrid....
